Looking back at this summer, the summer before my senior year, I’ve realized how much it has shaped me into the person I’m becoming & I’m really loving it. Maybe it was conquering Europe in 19 days that taught me history in a totally different way and gave me knowledge I can keep with me forever. Maybe it was how I went on European Discovery not knowing anyone at all, & came out with a few friendships that I would not trade for the world. Or maybe it was the realization that I can be independent in a brand new country that made me feel bold. I learned so much about myself and others on that trip. Also, I’ve watched a lot of videos on Youtube & people like Zoella, Bethany Mota and a few others inspired me even more to do what makes me happy. I’ve also worked extra hard on my photography & that always leaves me feeling great. I’m not exactly sure what sparked this intense feeling that I can do anything but I’m not going to let it go out anytime soon. I want to be able to look back at this blog & see how much my wants have changed, my ideas have evolved, and how much I’ve accomplished. Follow along with me as I look back at a few great moments in the past, live in the present and dream about my future.
